Well... hmm. I've just (sort of) started (yeah, I know... a bit behind the
trend here). I was finally inspired by my good (real life) friend Claire, of
LoobyLu (http://loobylu.com/) fame (and I *mean* fame).

Please ignore the god-awful font, I screwed up and uploaded the wrong
version of the stylesheet... it should be much nicer than that. But you can
read it, at least.

Usual deal, fully CSS/XHTML (doesn't validate at the moment though, because
I screwed up the nav area. Oh well. Will fix tonight). Should exclude the SS
totally from NS4, leaving them with vanilla Times Roman black on white etc.
etc. etc. Haven't tested that though.

I basically created it as a coding experiment -- I wanted it to be fully DB
driven, etc. etc... so it's not using Movable Type or anything like that.
It's actually quite flexible, I played with MT and there's not much I can do
with that that I can't do with my system...

Also, I am a cantankerous old fool and I like having somewhere to sound off
(see: "Blowhole").

Anyway, I'd love feedback.

Paul.
